Steven Gerrard is going back home.
The Liverpool legend, who spent 17 years with the Merseyside outfit as a player, was announced Friday as the newest full-time youth coach at the Reds' academy in Kirkby.
He will officially start work in February, according to a club statement, although he familiarised himself with the youth system while working to attain his coaching badges last year.
For his part, manager Jurgen Klopp has done his best to make Gerrard feel welcome back at Anfield and the club's Melwood training ground. Gerrard trained with the rest of the Liverpool squad in December 2015 as he prepared for his final season in Major League Soccer.
"The door is always open for him," Klopp said. "From our side, if he wants to make whichever career change from his former career, then we want to help him."
